any idea howto extract registry? i guess it's in a file somwhere!? thx in advance.

When i bought my laptop from Lenovo i got Vista home premium installed from factory buti did image of it with acronis true image and installed xp instead but now i want to make a clean backup cd of my vista but sadly my backup archive of vista is corrupted when i try to restore it but i can open the archive inside windows with true image and mount it as a virtual driver and read all files without problem but... is it possible to extract the product key from it? i got the activation file atleast but since i can't boot up system and use abr to save my key i'm stuck! what i mean with product key is the OEM key installed from factory not my key on label on backside of my laptop. i tried search function here on forum with no luck!

Right after i posted my last post i got it work with help of another code posted here earlier! working solution is now @echo off set LAME=lame.exe set OPTS=--preset medium FOR %%F IN (*.wav) DO %LAME% %OPTS% "%%F" del *.wav ren *.mp3 *. ren *.wav *.mp3

Neither renaming part or lame part works on my system, when lame is running it opens dos window, since dos program and that happpens is that a dos windows is opened then close right away and all files get correct name still but without extension! and bat script dosen't work either , all i get is a error saying: "Following use of path operator instead of command parameter is invalid: "%~nI.mp3"" rougly translated from swedish, you can get lame from hxxp://www.free-codecs.com/download/Lame_Encoder.htm , it's free and legal, try it yourself, i'm using win XP Pro swedish edition, don't think that should have anything todo with errors but who knows, not me for sure!

Thank you all very much! Really appreciate all your work and effort in this topic! Wish you all good day!

I got small problem, that's i got bat file for running lame in a dir for all .wav files i have and convert them to .mp3 but problem is that bat file add old extension to new file with new extension, i give example: song.wav will be rung though lame and end up with name song.wav.mp3 , i don't want .wav extension on new file just song.mp3, i'm not sure it's possible in bat file to do that so maybe vbs file can, here is bat file: --CODE-- @echo off set LAME=lame.exe set OPTS=--preset medium FOR %%F IN (*.WAV) DO %LAME% %OPTS% "%%F" DEL *.WAV --CODE-- this is how command should be "lame.exe --preset medium song.wav song.mp3" but bat file gives "lame.exe --preset medium song.wav song.wav.mp3", it dosen't remove the old extension before giving it to lame as parameter so i have to rename them all manually, sure there are renaming programs but i just want it in script easy and fast, nothing fancy! so can anyone help me with new script that does this simple task? i don't know any bat or vbs programming and not intressed in it either just want it to work hopefully there is one or more who like a simple challenge like this! Thank you!
